STEPSON Petitioning STEPFATHER

[lakambini 1]

My Son filed a petition for me and my husband(his stepdad)and it was already approved.

HERE IS THE SITUATION; My son has already been in the USA (he was petitioned by his biological Dad)before i got married, jn other words my son and my husband now (his stepdad)never had the chance to really be together. They only met recently when my son visited.

My Concerns and Questions are does anybody knows or have any idea:

1.On what additional evidence they might look into during our interview at the USEM Manila?

2.Do we have to establish Proof of Step son - Stepfather relationship?

3.Will it be an issue if my son and his stepdad have only met once?

Thank you so much.Pls. help !!!!

Need to show your divorce from the birth father, and that you married current husband prior to son's 18th birthday. That is so he can petition for each of you.

Those guides along with the form instructions will explain what's needed.

Very interesting one, yep that works the petition age requirement, step parent relationship established prior to 18th birthday, never seen a post where it was applied in this way.

1. Not much, this is not a spouse visa case where proving a bonafide relationship is the thing, I would simply bring evidence of maintaining a mother/son relationship.

2. Documents to establish relationship will be your marriage cert, and son's birth cert.

3. I don't think it will be an issue, immigrations is not being based on a bonafide relationship as in the case of a spouse visa, in this case immigrations does not wish to break up a family by granting a visa to one parent and not the other.

Ok..I was not married to his birth Dad. This is my first marriage though

The birth certificate shows the parental relationship with his father.

An affidavit from you stating you were never married (to the father) may be needed to satisfy the requirement.

I think a trip to the NSO is in order. The mother of the USC needs to establish through the official Cenomar that no marriages are on file for her prior to her current marriage. She states that her son is not legitimate. The burden is on her to prove what events occurred or did not occur in the past. The CENOMAR would be a SLAM DUNK!!
